Little Miss Friendly
Little Miss Friendly Ceremony will take place at 6pm on the Saloon Stage

Little Miss Friendly is the official hostess and living logo of the Southwest Washington Fair. The Little Miss Friendly program began in 1968 as the living symbol to help market the fair and showcase how the community defined Southwest Washington, “friendliness”.

Each summer the Southwest Washington Fair hosts a contest to appoint the new Little Miss Friendly. The contest is open to 8-10-year-olds. The 2023 Little Miss Friendly will spend 6 days at the fair greeting visitors and promoting the fair. During the year of her reign, she will attend parades, coronations, teas, and many more events as the official representative of the Southwest Washington Fair.
